Our trip with David on his boat was exactly what we were looking for. David will work with you to make sure you see the best things in the time you have
This was an amazing tour!! I would highly recommend. Davide was great! Fun, informative and professional! We saw the sights, went swimming, had some drinks and had perfect music!! This is definitely the way to see Capri!!
I was on the fence about booking this tour, but I’m glad I did and would definitely recommend it .. with one major warning: skip the Blue Grotto.
We only had three hours for the boat tour, and our driver told us the Blue Grotto wait would be about 45 minutes. It ended up taking close to two hours. I know wait times vary depending on the time of year, but it was absolutely not worth using most of our tour waiting there.
You’re only inside the Blue Grotto for about 10 minutes, it’s extremely dark, and there really isn’t much to see. Because we spent so long waiting, we only had time for one more stop afterward and missed the other stops listed on the tour.
If seeing the Blue Grotto is really important to you, I would visit it separately another day by going to the area near the grotto and waiting in line to enter from land. Don’t waste your limited boat tour time waiting there.
Otherwise, the tour itself was great. The host was very easy to meet, extremely nice, and the boat was beautiful. I absolutely recommend booking this .. I can’t emphasize enough .. just skip the Blue Grotto and spend your three hours seeing the rest of Capri instead.
Worth every penny, a day to remember . Davi ensured we did absolutely everything we wanted to do. We went to the Blue Grotto which whilst a wait Davi ensured we were able to go as soon as possible. We had time for a swim, which again he found a beautiful truly wonderful place to stop. It was great that he had towels for us to use and bottles of chilled water - meant we just had to bring ourselves. He then sailed around the whole island pointing out all of the sites and ensuring we saw everything on our list. We chose 3 hours and can highly recommend . Truly memorable.
We booked the 3-hour boat tour and it did not disappoint! Our captain took us cruising past gorgeous beach clubs along the coast, and honestly, he made us feel safe and taken care of the entire time, exactly what you want for a day out with your girls.
We had plenty of time to swim and soak in the most stunning turquoise water. The boat itself was beautiful, loved all the wood details and clean.
We asked for local dinner recs, and he called ahead and booked us a reservation at an great restaurant back in Naples for dinner, the bruchetta, so good. Any who, such a sweet touch.
Only small notes for improvement: he had cold beer on board but no wine, and no snacks or cold water which would’ve been nice to have while out on the water.
Overall though, an unforgettable day and I’d recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Amalfi/Naples coast. Thank you for such a wonderful time! 🛥️☀️🇮🇹
It was up there with one of the best days of our one month holiday. We had a private 4 hour tour. We couldn’t fault it. The access to beautiful swimming spots. David was a great tour guide and host. We were amazed by the beauty of Capri.
Affordable and great fun. Towels provided as sell as beer, soda and water. Davide was extremely knowledged in captaining a ship when we had rough waters from big yachts.
My family and I had an awesome tour of Capri with our skipper Davide! He was knowledge, personable, and took us to the best photo spots! Although my group didn’t swim or bring bathing suits, there was an option to swim in the blue waters which was really cool. I would 1000% recommend this tour to anyone who is visiting Capri for the first time, it was truly beautiful!
This private boat tour was one of the absolute highlights of our trip to Italy! Our captain, David, was fantastic, friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience fun and relaxing from start to finish.
Seeing Capri from the water is an experience everyone should have. David took us around the island, pointing out famous landmarks, beautiful sea caves, dramatic cliffs, and hidden coves that you simply can't appreciate from land. He was happy to answer questions, share local knowledge, and made sure we had plenty of opportunities to stop for photos and enjoy the incredible scenery.
The boat was comfortable, the views were breathtaking, and the entire tour felt personalized rather than rushed. It was the perfect way to experience the beauty of Capri.
I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Capri. If you're considering a private boat tour, don't hesitate to book with David, you won't regret it! It was easily a 10/10 experience and one of the most memorable parts of our vacation.
My wife and I had a very nice experience. David our skipper was very informative and kind. We was able to relax in the water as well
I went with my best friends and we loved the experience!! It was exactly what we wanted! The guys on the boat were extremely kind and patient with us, explaining everything we were seeing, taking amazing photos and videos, and the vibe was out of this world. I'm picky about my experiences, especially on holiday, and this didn't disappoint. We took the 2-hour tour because we thought it would be enough, and we regretted not taking more time to keep enjoying it, that's how much fun we had. 100% recommended!!!
Loved our tour with David! He shared a lot of history and information, beautiful boat and scenery. And a perfect swimming spot!
Davide was awesome!! We enjoyed this trip so much. He was very personable, informational and funny. Don’t miss this tour!!
David took us around the whole island explaining things to us as we went. He was very informative. We stopped at the Blue Grotto and was able to transfer to a small boat and go into the grotto. I highly recommend this activity.
This day was absolutely amazing. Loved having it private. It was me, my husband and our married friends (2). Absolutely a highlight of our trip and our captain was just awesome and so accommodating! If I would give one recommendation bring some snacks. Our trip was from 10:39 - 2:30 so if that's your time I would say bring some munchies. There was plenty of water and beer though!!! It's not a negative just a recommendation.
It was great to go round the whole beautiful island just the two of us, with a fun and sweet skipper who knows every little secret of Capri. Thank you, Daniele, and we’ll definitely come back to see more of Anacapri as you recommended.

Thank you very much!!!
This was such a fun experience! The tour guide was wonderful. Boast was very comfortable and included some snacks and beverages.
Had an absolutely beautiful day on the water. Hit rough choppy sections but our skipper D handled it like a pro and had full control of that beautiful boat. Very impressive. Due to the high winds and choppy waters D was willing to stay out the full time and continue showing us everything he could without going into unsafe areas ( over by blue grotto which due to weather has been closed for days now) he was so kind trying to give us the most fabulous experience and he really went above and beyond. I asked for it to be cut a little short considering how choppy it was in certain sections trying not to risk getting seasick or have wicked sea legs afterwards and he was very accommodating ( I cut it about 45 minutes short). I also have an injured leg (knee in a brace torn meniscus and using a cane) and he was gracious enough helping me on and off the boat with the limited mobilty making sure I was entering and exiting without strain on my injured leg. We had delicious snacks on board. Towels were provided. An assortment of beverages. Really a great experience and I can't say enough good things about the whole trip!!! Would definitely recommend!!!
The pictures I got to take being out there were stunning!!!
We had an amazing experience with David (Skipper) in Capri—easily one of the highlights of our trip. The pickup was seamless; he met us right by the port in front of a restaurant, which made everything super easy and stress-free.
Even though the day started off windy, David did an incredible job navigating the waters and making sure we still had a great time. His experience really showed, and he kept things smooth and comfortable until the sun finally came out.
Although the Blue Grotto was closed, he more than made up for it by taking us to several other stunning grottos that were just as memorable. He also took us all the way around the island, pointing out key spots along the way—like the lighthouses and historic homes of emperors—which added a really cool, educational element to the trip.
On top of all that, he was super laid-back and easy to hang out with. He even had beer, wine, and soda ready for us, which made the whole experience feel even more relaxed and fun.
Overall, this was an unforgettable day on the water. Highly recommend David if you’re looking for a great skipper in Capri!

Thank you!!
Perfect choice for a no frills lap around the island. We did the 2 hour tour and it was great. Davide was awesome.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you Steven, happy to hear!
This boat tour is a must do while in Capri! This was the best way to tour the sites and get a photo op in all the best spots. The skipper, Massimo was also friendly and helpful to take photos.
The tide was quite rocky in some areas due to the weather so we had to cut the journey a bit short, and they happily reimbursed me for the time lost- so they also have excellent customer service.
10/10 recommend!
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you so much Xila!
The trip was beautiful. However we had to ask the guide questions. He didn’t give information freely. Also there were no snacks and the beer was warm.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Hello Maryann,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're glad to hear you found the trip beautiful, but we're sorry to learn that some aspects didn’t meet your expectations. We appreciate your comments about the guide and will ensure they receive additional support to engage more proactively with guests. We also apologize for the lack of snacks and the warm beer—this isn’t the experience we aim to provide, and we’ll be reviewing our service standards to ensure better quality going forward. Your input is valuable and helps us improve. We hope to welcome you again for a more seamless experience
We had a wonderful time on the boat with Captain Devin. We had missed our ferry from Sorrento to Capri but I was able to message the tour operator & they could us no worries. We were greeted at the netting place & escorted to the boat. It was a beautiful day! The Blue Grotto was closed but no fault of the tour operator. It will give an excuse to come back. Lol The tour was very relaxing and a highlight of our visit to Italy. Highly recommend!!
Amazing experience! Having the privacy on the boat, being hassle free of others was the best way to experience the beautiful views and the people who were messaging us before the boat and the skipper were great! Was celebrating my birthday with a good friend and was a 10/10 experience, would do it again as they made my birthday celebration so special!
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you so much! I am very happy that this was the best experience you could have had!!
Amazing trip!! I was traveling with my 70 y/o mother, and our captain (Davide) and guide (Francesca) were both so patient and helpful with the onboarding and off-boarding experience. Drinks were ready for us on board when we arrived. And there is so much to love about Capri!! During our 3 hour boat tour, we saw several caves and grottos, stopped at a swimming location, and cruised around the island. I can’t even describe the views… just breathtaking. I originally thought we might have felt rushed given the high season boat traffic or the shorter tour time compared to other options available, but that wasn’t the case whatsoever. We loved our boat trip!! Thank you Davide and company. 10 out of 10 experience.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're truly happy to hear that you and your mother had such a great experience with us. Davide and Francesca will be thrilled to know that their patience and care made your tour comfortable and enjoyable—especially during boarding and disembarking. Capri is such a special place, and we're glad you got to experience its beauty without feeling rushed, even during the busy season. We really appreciate your kind words and the perfect 10 out of 10. Hope to welcome you back on board soon!
2 hosts immediately greeted us promptly at the meeting location and escorted us onto the boat where we met Davide. He got us out of the marina and explained the plan for the 4 hours we booked. There were towels laid out and chilled drinks, wine, and fresh cherries. Sadly I was very seasick, so I did not get into the water to swim, but my husband (who was not at all seasick) was living his best life snorkelling and swimming to his heart’s content at our swimming spot. We learned so much about the island, its caves and the rock formations. The views were breathtaking - our photos couldn’t capture the beauty of the cliffs and homes from the water! Would highly recommend Davide as a tour guide and skipper. Very skilled and he was very accommodating when we had to cut our trip short due to me being so ill. We both still had a good time.
